This year will hopefully be the inaugural season of the Soxtalk Legends Dynasty League. We tried last year but started way too late to get enough people to join. I have sent messages to those who were interested last year but even if they all join we still need a lot more people. We are looking for between 8 and 14 members who are in the league for the long haul. This will be an entirely free league run through ESPN in conjuction with this thread.

I will then draw through the deck until everyone's card has been picked and record the order that they were drawn. I will repeat this 5 times and then average everyone's draft positions. The lowest average will have the number 1 pick then the next lowest will have the number 2 pick and so forth. Roster: C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, OF, OF, OF, UTIL, UTIL, SP, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P BENCH, BENCH, BENCH, BENCH, BENCH Milb Roster TBD Trading Picks: Allowed Scoring Style: Head to Head (Category) Scoring Categories: AVG, HRS, RBI's, SB's, OPS, R's, ERA, K's, SV's, WHIP, OBA (On Base Percentage Against), QS (Quality Starts) Playoffs: Half of the league will make the playoffs Winner: possibly a very small cash prize of $5- $10 and they will receive bragging rights until the next season and a little banner image to display on their signature League Updates: I am planning on putting together a Draft Recap, Preseason Power Rankings, weekly Power Rankings, and weekly recaps Again to join post in this thread and include a playing card.

Can someone explain the reason for only 5 keepers? I'm not trying to sound rude, but I honestly just don't get the draw. Is it to ensure a "busy" draft the next year?
I have been in one of my keeper leagues for 3 years, its 25 man rosters and 12 keepers; I cannot imagine only keeping 5. I think the most fun is knowing that a majority of my roster will be back next year.
Totally not against it in this league, just want to know why some would only want a few rather than a bigger chunk.

Totally not against it in this league, just want to know why some would only want a few rather than a bigger chunk. Here is my thinking, Having 5 keepers allows you to keep some players and build a strong team from year to year. It also allows other teams that had a bad draft or are taking over for a new team to not be screwed. I took over a team in the other soxtalk league and it SUCKED. Luckily through a few trades I was able to land a couple of good players to keep as well as get a chance using the draft to make the team mine/better. Also, everyone may not be at the same skill level at drafting or building a team and I'd like this to be enjoyable for everyone and having 5 keepers ensures that next year for the most part is a new year and not just another crappy year for a bad team. Those are just my thoughts.

Right now we have 10 people who have said their in. We are waiting on 2 of them. If KG#1 is still in then we have 8 so once I here back from the others we will setup the draft order and the draft. I need a card from Dukiesrock25 for the draft order.

Just PM it if you don't want to post it. Yeah I've determined what the MILB rosters are I just have not had a chance to post that info. I'll try to get that posted tonight. The draft is this Friday night so if your good with the rules etc. post in the draft roll call thread so we know we can count you.

With Head to Head categories, is the team who won the most categories in a week considered the winner of that week. Or do you get a W/L for each category. So say you win 7 of the 12 categories in week 1 will you be 1-0 or will you be 7-5?

Not sure what everyone else's thoughts are but those were mine.

I personally like weekly winners more. It keeps things more interesting IMO, but whatever works for the majority works for me.

I've never played a categories league like this so it should be interesting.

In a League this small, I'd say 10 keepers would be better, but that's me. I'll follow in line.

No man, I disagree with you mate, Condor has it right. Sorry, I misread your post lol. Since you just joined, are you going to be placed at the end of the draft order? That's the only logical thing I can think of, as it wouldn't be fair for everyone else to have the list re-randomized again considering that the draft has already started.

Spanky is in place of Team R (can create team name later). We ran the draft lottery with another person as R, who backed out so Spanky is taking his place.
